This is a fight. Unasked for, but here, nonetheless.
The Right's version of the Constitution is a complete caricature its roots. They violate basic human rights, the rights of women, of immigrants, of the peaceful. They do it to marginalize and ostracize any liberal thinkers, to humiliate them with glee. Left intellectuals write what they can, and then only anonymously. Right leaders attack these writings, pointing to them and calling "coward." This imprisons Left-leaning thought in a jail of anonymity, a jail built on the with the loud voices and skewed untruths of the Right.
If the aggregate sum of abuses of morality by the Right in the past few decades were matched with those of the Left, Right would be held most felonious in its actions. The indignant Right, the prosperous Right, the wicked Right – the Right whose false morality is held as a shield while its contrite cruelties against the human condition its sword. I am by no means saying that all people who label themselves as conservative or "Right" are in the wrong; I am, of course, attempting to designate in a broad manner the Left's antagonist. It is not meant to comprise the entirety of those people who are Rightward thinking, many have risen above radical conservative thought, and are disposed to work towards a common goal, to become more rational, to find middle ground, and to assent to the fact that there will be differences in this society - a society worth saving, worth pulling back from war, this indignant, this sordid, this inane war.
No longer one united nation, no longer under god, no longer indivisible, we are here, and we fight, brother against brother, sister against sister, wife against husband. How long before we crush each other with the weight of nuclear weapons? How long before we spread diseases and destroy our cities, our countrysides, our parks and our playgrounds?
All because the rabid, the radical Right would not give up their guns, all because they wanted to show the world that they were in charge of their bullets and Bibles. All because my so-call Christian brothers (and brainwashed sisters) decided that a woman's place was wherever a man said, that a woman's body was an incubator, and By God, By All That is Holy, any infraction on that incubation was an infraction against morality. What is this hypocrisy that says that a woman seeking an abortion is punishable by death after her progeny has been born? They say that they are about the love of God, what is this hypocrisy that then makes them deny the love of two people of the same gender?
Does not God state that Love is Love?
To paraphrase the good Reverend King "It is not the Right per se that we fight, but the policies and ideologies of the Right power structure is still seeking to keep the walls of" social justice, racial and gender equality, of inequities between the wealthy and the servant classes, substantively unbroken.
It is the Right's backlash against progress that has brought us to this. It is the fear-mongering and hate-fueling that has lead us into this dark time of war. Let us look for the light of reason, brothers and sisters. Let us look for the light of reason.

Q: Evaluating classification accuracy and the result of kappa test in Google Earth Engine I am trying to check the efficiency of the classification. The classification accuracy and kappa test for 2020 are 0 while for 2000 is 1. I am just not able to put my finger on what is incorrect as the accuracy of 1 also seems far-fetched. This is the script used for 2000 where the result of the accuracy-test was 1.
//import the images for 2000
var landsat_image= ee.ImageCollection("LANDSAT/LE07/C01/T1_TOA")
.filterDate('2000-01-01', '2000-12-30')
.filterBounds(watershed)
.sort('CLOUD_COVER')
.first()
//clip by asset (ROI)
var watershed_2000=landsat_image.clip(watershed)
//display the clipped region with visual parameters

1.4},'Watershed_2000')
//calculate cloud score
var cloudScore_2000=ee.Algorithms.Landsat.simpleCloudScore(watershed_2000).select('cloud')

//mask input for clouds
var landsat_2000=
watershed_2000.updateMask(watershed_2000.mask().reduce('min').and(cloudScore_2000.lte(40)))

//merge the landcover features
var Landcover_2000=Vegetation.merge(builtuparea).merge(CropLand).merge(BarrenLand).merge(Waterbody).merge(Glacier)

//name of the variable
var classProperty_2000 = 'Landcover'

//bands
var bands_2000= ['B2', 'B3', 'B4', 'B5', 'B7', 'B8']

//now train the classification points

print('2000 Validation error matrix:', testAccuracy_2000)
print('2000 Validation overall accuracy:', testAccuracy_2000.accuracy())

A: Indeed as @radouxju mentions in their comment, you need to re-order your workflow a little. The idea is to:

*

*split your sample into training and validation sets

*train your model using only the training sample

*classify your validation set using the trained model

*examine the accuracy

// train the classification points
// sample the input imagery to get a feature collection of the training points
var sample = landsat_2000.select(bands_2000).sampleRegions({
  collection: Landcover_2000,
  properties: [classProperty_2000],
  scale: 30
 })

// add a random column
var sample = sample.randomColumn('random')

//We want to reserve some of the data for testing, to avoid overfitting the model
//Roughly 70% training, 30% testing.

var split = 0.7

// split your **full** sample into training and validation points to keep them independent of each other
var training = sample.filter(ee.Filter.lt('random', split))
var validation = sample.filter(ee.Filter.gte('random', split))

//train the classifier using the **training sample**
var classifier = ee.Classifier.smileCart().train({
  features: training,
  classProperty: classProperty_2000,
})

// classify the **validation sample**  (you can classify your training set too if you wish to see how the model performs with your training points)
var validation = validated.classify(classifier)

// Get a confusion matrix representing expected accuracy of **test data (validation sample)**
var testAccuracy = validation.errorMatrix(classProperty_2000, 'classification')

Travel Trailers come in two classifications: less than 4,000 lbs. and more than 4,000 lbs.
This class of trailer is designed to be hauled behind the average family car, minivan, SUV or other small vehicle that's properly set up and factory-rated for towing. Most such trailers are fully-equipped like their big brothers, but they're smaller and most facilities are downsized to fit the compact space. You may not get a lot of lounging or bathroom space and the kitchens are usually functional but not extra roomy, but these rigs include full comfort and livability hardware such as a furnace, an on-demand water system and so on.
Storage and parking is less complex with a smaller trailer, but some cargo capacity and general elbowroom are sacrificed in the interest of smaller size.
Keep an eye on the larger units in this class. Some manufacturers list their dry weight RVs as "less than 4,000 pounds" but by the time you start with a 3,800-pound "dry" weight and add options, fluids and cargo, the true weight is considerably more. Be careful, or you'll overload that rig rated for 4,000 pounds in a hurry.
These are among the most popular RVs on the road. They're fully equipped, have a wide variety of floorplans aimed at families or couples or anything in between, and can be had in a dizzying array of price/quality levels, sizes and options.
You don't need a pickup to tow a travel trailer. Many full- and mid-size family vehicles can be set up for safe and sensible towing, and there's likely a trailer out there that fits your needs.
Some travel trailers can, under certain conditions, exhibit an occasional tail-wagging sway that can lead to uncomfortable moments for the driver. That's why, all other factors being equal, many users choose a fifth-wheel. However, if a pickup is your tow rig of choice, a travel trailer leaves the pickup bed free for hauling extra cargo in weatherproof security under a bed canopy. Some people find backing a trailer difficult and hitching up a chore, but backing gets easier with practice — as does hitching and unhitching.


I've just returned from the first gathering together of OBOD members from New Zealand and Australia on the north island of New Zealand. In previous years, each country has had its own separate gathering, but on this occasion 23 members from Australia joined 39 members from NZ, with Stephanie and I from England and our new Chief-to-be Eimear from Ireland. We met over 6 days, and every night the air rang to the sounds of Eisteddfod and laughter. There were workshops and initiations, a Lughnasadh ceremony, and walking a magnificent labyrinth built at the Grove of the Summer Stars. I'm very aware of the need to reduce our carbon footprints, and we are trying to limit foreign trips as much as possible. In previous years I've participated by skype, but there are certain gatherings which I feel are important to attend, and in addition we went to visit family in Wellington. Many connections were made in those few days, links were deepened, and the gathering finished with a beautiful ceremony to mark the leadership transition we are going through, which will culminate in Glastonbury in June 2020.
The film above was created by Glenn Conroy. The song "AMAZING" came about as a result of a workshop in which participants explored their Bardic being through story, poetry and song. Random thoughts, words and phrases were written on slips of paper and tossed into the magic hat. What emerged, line for line, and with minimal editing is what you hear.
To get a feel for how it is to celebrate Druidry in New Zealand, have a look at the photos on the beautiful website of The Grove of the Summer Stars. Huge thanks to all who made our stay so wonderful!

'Completely Random' and 'Disturbing': San Leandro Police Search For Attempted Kidnapping Suspect
Good Samaritan who thwarted the abduction says he just reacted and doesn't see himself as a hero
By Elyce Kirchner and Cheryl Hurd • Published July 28, 2016 • Updated on July 29, 2016 at 2:11 pm
San Leandro police are searching for a man accused of making a violent attempt to kidnap a 23-year-old woman as she headed to work Thursday morning. He was thwarted by a good Samaritan, they said.
NBC Bay Area caught up with the man who police say likely saved the woman's life. Yong-Sung Leal said he doesn't consider himself a hero.
"You don't have to be tough to do the right thing," Leal said. "Just react."
Leal explained what he saw and why he reacted the way he did.
"I see the perpetrator trying to pull this girl into his car and while he's macing her," Leal said. "She was very brave; she did the best she could.
"I pulled her ankle out; her torso was almost in the vehicle," Leal continued. "He was macing me, and we were running around his car. Eventually he got into his vehicle."
The incident was reported just before 8 a.m. in the 14700 block of busy Washington Avenue, police said.

Lt. Ron Clark of the San Leandro Police Department called the attack "completely random" and "disturbing." Without Leal's intervention, "she could have ended up the next body [dumped] somewhere else," Clark said, adding that "there is no way to know."
Witnesses also said that if Leal hadn't stepped in to help the woman, the attempted kidnapping could have ended in tragedy.
Investigators worked with the victim and witnesses to create a suspect sketch. He is described as a well-dressed man in a collared shirt, who calmly parallel parked his car, jumped out and maced the woman.
"She was incapacitated by the mace," Clark said. "She wasn't in a position to fight back ... but she actually felt her feet enter the car."
That's when Leal, who was driving by, stopped and fought off the suspect, prompting him to flee in his car.
"I wish we were able to contain him," Leal said. "At least she's all right; that's all that matters."
Bruce Burns, a painter who was working on the roof of a nearby apartment building, said he saw two men fighting across the street and noticed "there was a girl, too."
Burns didn't know it at the time, but he was witnessing an attempted abduction.
"Everybody could see it," he said, because the man tried to grab the woman in "crazy, broad daylight."
Clark said both the victim and Leal were treated at the scene for chemical exposure because the suspect sprayed mace in their faces. Police are afraid the attempted kidnapper might strike again.
"Kidnapping is pretty scary," Burns said.
Detectives have set up a hotline dedicated to this case and are asking people with information to call (510) 577-3259.

Thanks to mobile game development company, Supercell, we are going to have a new piece of art of a game world. Clash Royale is a must-play game for you. To say, on Monday no game was in my mind but here I am on a Friday afternoon checking for free tokens hourly, unlocking ready chests, interacting with my clan. The game has become a part of me and I do want you to play this game since it's really that good.
People living in countries with the game available have an upper hand advantage because everything is all set and can easily be bought in app- store. Those living elsewhere need to follow some simple procedures before they fully install the app. In the iTunes apps Store on your computer, scroll down the page and change countries to for example Canada. Go to 'Download Clash Royale' when you get a sign in prompt from iTunes, click on 'Register a new account'. You can put for instance +ca after your email name before @. After finishing with the registration process, you download the game. Move down the page on your device's app store and sign out of your current account. Sign into your new ID and iTunes will do an automatic switch of your country. Lastly, download the app and get started with the game. You can't purchase any IAP unless you score some iTunes credit for that nation some way or another, however you're great.
Clash Royale follows both MOBA and CCG rules. You go into a fight having 8 cards, 4 of which are in your grasp whenever. Every card has elixir price, and to play it, you should have enough of it. It recharges after some time. You can put your units anyplace on your side of the screen, yet they will go toward the adversary's towers, which you should demolish for your chance to win. You don't have any control of units once you place them on the field, so you have to know their predispositions. Furthermore, you have to figure out how your adversary's units' predispositions work. It's an entirely clever thing to do, and the game all happens in fights that are 4 minutes, tops. There are two crown towers and the lord's crown tower. Obliterate the king tower and win quickly. The game will end following 3 minutes (with the last moment giving twofold elixir era) if one player has pulverized more crown towers. Be that as it may, if the crown tower check is even, then there's additional time where the first player to annihilate a tower wins. There's a step framework where you acquire and lose points for your execution.
The main reason for playing Clash Royale is because it is a real fun. Exceptionally, it does the work of combining the best parts MOBAs with those of CGSs. You can apply your own methodology while unlocking more cards because the cards you use in summoning your units have a handful variety. The fights get exceptional, as it's entirely feasible for one wise play to change the fighting tide. Try to push together a rival's Giant and Mini P.E.K.K.A. with something such as a skeleton armed force, then drop a prince that they can't battle since they ran out of elixir, and it feels incredible. I like playing defensive; on the off chance that I win 1-0, that is very fine by me, I'm not too centered around attempting to take out the ruler's tower. You need to monitor what your adversary's deck and what you'd anticipate that their elixir tally will be. Playing wise in the initial 2 minutes is vital, however then the diversion gets insane in the last moment in addition to extra time with the twofold elixir.
The likelihood of Clash royale becoming a huge phenomenon is high. The 3-4 minute game structure is ideal for portable devices such as mobiles. I considered Call of Champions had this made sense of, however, this may be far superior. It's super-simple and approachable to play the game at any minute. The tutorials in Clash Royale's shows you how to play, however, doesn't keep you secured for a really long time before releasing you out and play seriously. Also, the session length is impeccable: at a certain point, I unintentionally began a diversion and didn't feel awful to play it since I knew I didn't have to last long. What's more, the diversion's chest system makes it with the goal that one win frequently goes far, as it's something that will reward you…one day.
There are different reasons why you should play Clash Royale now. These reasons are very picture-perfect to me. The first big reason is that you learn to play with everybody. You are behind other enthusiasts experienced in the genre. A new game can be disheartening as well. The game uses familiar elements, nevertheless, it's a new invention. Once you get a grasp on how to play it, you will be playing as others try to find strategies for playing the game and realize how things work. What is happening here, it's like players are fighting an online battle. Matchmaking puts players with similar skills together which is a very encouraging.
Another reason why you should get it now is because it is attracting a lot of audiences and right now there are not as many clans from around the globe as it will be. This brings a promising feeling because of the stage in which the game is in, becoming the next phenomena like the Clash of Clans. If the game is intriguing to you why should you wait? The synchronization of your progress in the game Is through cloud, therefore, nothing is lost while reinstalling on the home account meaning that you can buy an IAP account at a later date. This game may be released worldwide any moment from now.
Another motivation to get in is that the game can persuade you that free-to-play genre can be cool without paying. I've put in quick undertakings to get Canadian iTunes credit, beyond any doubt. I wouldn't see any problems with opening more chests to get more cards to experiment with other rare units and get more overhauls, sure. Be that as it may, the matchmaking, in any case, guarantees you're around individuals of comparative skills. You may play this game and add to your clan without spending any cash. Provided that, as practically any CCG, the general population who spends money will be the top levels of players since they've gotten the most chances to get the best stuff. But in case you're playing and are thinking about the game that much, why not pay for it? In any case, when you're playing a free-to-play without making any payments, you understand exactly how cool it can really be. What's more, figuring out how to min-max the game is fun all by itself. In addition, on the off chance that if you know what you are doing with your deck and join a cool clan, they can connect you with what you need in case you're ready to give back.To sum up everything, I must say you have to play this game. It's going to spread across the world and it will be the next big talk. It also has lots of fun too. I doubt you want to miss that chance of being the pioneer in that game and boast on how you al.
Unfortunately, the developers haven't released Clash Royale on Android. We can only assume the release date: spring - summer 2016. This information is based on the experience of past games Supercell.
We promise that as soon as you become aware of the details of the release - we will post them on the website.

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Who was the strongest man to ever walk the face of the earth? Jesus Christ. No one was stronger. As the Creator in human form, He simply could have spoken His enemies out of existence.
Do you think He had to submit himself to Pontius Pilate?
Jesus could have said, "You're getting on my nerves. You're dead. Bye."
He could have walked out of there.
On one occasion, people from the synagogue in His hometown of Nazareth tried to throw him off a cliff. But the Bible tells us that "passing through the midst of them, He went His way" (Luke 4:30 NKJV). It was as if to say, "Yeah, I'm not going off a cliff today. I'm going right through here, and you're getting out of my way."
Jesus controlled that power, submitted, gave up his rights, and laid himself down. He didn't lay aside His divinity, but He did lay aside his rights. He suffered for us and died on the cross.
In Matthew 11:29 Jesus said of himself, "I am gentle and lowly in heart" (NKJV).
Joseph, too, is a classic example of meekness. Even though his brothers betrayed him and sold him into slavery, he became the second most powerful man in Egypt through God's providence.
And later, when a famine struck the land and his brothers went to Egypt in search of food, Joseph was in charge of the food supply. They didn't recognize him. Certainly they didn't think he was alive.
Joseph, with a snap of his finger, could have had them all put to death. But instead, he forgave them. That was meekness—power under constraint.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek" (Matthew 5:5 NKJV). If you want to be a happy person, then seek to become a man or woman of meekness.
You Have Not Been Forgotten': Detective Encourages Police Officers to Seek Christ
By Kellie Van Gilder • October 2019
'You Have Not Been Forgotten': Detective Encourages Police Officers to Seek Christ
"What if our perspective changed?" Stephen Parker, a detective with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg (North Carolina) Police Department, challenged his fellow officers at the National Law Enforcement Retreat on Monday. "[What if] instead of asking God, 'Deliver me from this,' [we ask], 'Show me who You are so that I might say there is no one more able than my God.' That's where God wants us to be."
"The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord."
Liberating.
It's a word that Stephen Parker just can't shake when it comes to the National Law Enforcement Retreat (NLER).
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg (North Carolina) Police detective said he felt liberated in 2014 after he attended the first retreat at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove with his wife Cheryl. That's when—for the first time—the Parkers realized they weren't alone in the spiritual hardships that law enforcement officials face.
And on Monday night, six years after that first NLER, Parker drew upon the same word. Only this time he dressed it a little differently. This time it was more personal. He rubbed his already red eyes and sat down in The Cove's auditorium where he had just shared his testimony, including excerpts from his journal, for the first time.
"It's painfully liberating," Parker said, leaning back into the seat. "It was really hard for me to talk about this, and I put it off for a long time."
Parker is now in his fourth year as a speaker for the National Law Enforcement Retreat, hosted by the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team. Many law enforcement officials find his messages relevant because he often teaches Biblical truths as if they were a police case review. One time, his message centered on "If Jesus Were a Cop." He uses hilarious, somewhat safe, personal anecdotes to drive his messages.
But during the kickoff for this year's NLER, Parker shelved his usual approach in favor of sheer vulnerability. He didn't want to. In fact, he had something else planned until this past June. Earlier this year, his wife Cheryl pointed out that nobody really knew his story. And ultimately, God made it clear it was time.
So on Monday night before hundreds, Parker dug deep and shared his testimony. The highly decorated detective talked about his downward spiral and hitting bottom around 2012. That's when he considered eating his gun simply because he had lost hope. He especially highlighted how Cheryl suffered through his period of darkness. They had begun to live separate lives. He stayed in his darkness. She worked, took care of the kids and ran the house. She felt somewhat blindsided by how deep in the pit he had gotten until he just couldn't hide it anymore. That was 2013, the year he also began journaling thanks to the advice of a close, faithful friend.
He read some excerpts aloud on Monday for the first time, pausing frequently to collect himself.
March 2013: To fix me, I must fix us … two lonely people walking together.
May 2013: I really believe there is no difference between being alone and being dead. Pink Floyd was right, I have become "comfortably numb."
July 2013: My God and my Father, I have nothing to offer you but myself. … Help me Father.
October 2013, while awaiting the trial of a three-year case: I'm proud of my accomplishment, but was the price I paid worth it? … I'm sorry for all I missed, the tears I have caused, and for what I became. Now, at the end, I reflect and see what a terrible life it was. Forgive me Lord and lead me home.
November 2013: I have learned so much this year, Jesus is the answer for everything. … I hear Him say, 'Stay focused on Me, stay focused on Me.' Help me Lord to love You more.
"Parker knows it's not about me. It's about the God that saved me, the God that healed me, the God that gives me hope," emcee and fellow Rapid Response Team chaplain Kelly Burke later said. "It's about the God that gives me capacity to be a great cop.
"All the arrests and all the accolades, that's all going to burn. But what [Parker is] doing now in reflecting God's hope, God's light through that broken vessel, is showing these other officers that there's at least one person who understands where they are."
Many stopped to shake Parker's hand or hug him and thank him for his boldness in sharing on Monday. Cheryl also spoke with folks afterward who shared they, too, were in a tough spot. "It's hard to always relive that struggle," Cheryl said. "Any time you've lived through something rough, you wish you could just close it and never think about it, but I think the Lord wants us to use those things that we've gone through to help others."
Colleagues who knew Parker before Jesus got a hold of his heart admit he was a great cop, but man was he hard to be around. That changed once Parker surrendered to the Lord. Now others gravitate toward him.
"He's genuine, and he loves the Lord," said Biblical counselor and fellow NLER speaker Denise Molatch, who first met the Parkers at the 2014 retreat. "He reminds me a lot of my [late] husband because he taught self-defense and literally he could hold his own with anyone, yet he had the softest, sweetest spirit.
"That attracts a lot of police officers. They see that spirit within him, so they're amazed by that."
Parker's message didn't trigger too many laughs this time around. Yet his raw, authentic approach resonated. Men and women wiped their eyes. Some affirmed Parker with an "Amen" here and there as he illustrated with God's Word how God meets us where we are. He shared several passages of Scripture, but particularly focused on Lamentations 3 where the prophet Jeremiah believed he dwelled in darkness, out of God's earshot. But that same man, Parker said, goes on to say God's steadfast love never ceases.
That truth is one that he and Cheryl came to focus upon during what they now call their years of misery, Parker said. Now, his prayer every day is "God, show me Your glory."
"It's only through the love and the steadfast mercy of Jesus Christ that we can say it is well with me," Parker said in closing, citing a popular worship song the audience sang just before his message. "I know there's pain in this room. I know there are marriages that need help, and I know there are people sitting here that feel walled off and forgotten by God. You have not been forgotten. He's waiting. For you."
Will you embrace the God who lovingly waits for you?

The Method of Missions
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations… Matthew 28:19
Jesus Christ did not say, "Go and save souls" (the salvation of souls is the supernatural work of God), but He said, "Go…make disciples of all the nations…." Yet you cannot make disciples unless you are a disciple yourself. When the disciples returned from their first mission, they were filled with joy because even the demons were subject to them. But Jesus said, in effect, "Don't rejoice in successful service— the great secret of joy is that you have the right relationship with Me" (see Luke 10:17-20). The missionary's great essential is remaining true to the call of God, and realizing that his one and only purpose is to disciple men and women to Jesus. Remember that there is a passion for souls that does not come from God, but from our desire to make converts to our point of view.
The challenge to the missionary does not come from the fact that people are difficult to bring to salvation, that backsliders are difficult to reclaim, or that there is a barrier of callous indifference. No, the challenge comes from the perspective of the missionary's own personal relationship with Jesus Christ— "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" (Matthew 9:28). Our Lord unwaveringly asks us that question, and it confronts us in every individual situation we encounter. The one great challenge to us is— do I know my risen Lord? Do I know the power of His indwelling Spirit? Am I wise enough in God's sight, but foolish enough according to the wisdom of the world, to trust in what Jesus Christ has said? Or am I abandoning the great supernatural position of limitless confidence in Christ Jesus, which is really God's only call for a missionary? If I follow any other method, I depart altogether from the methods prescribed by our Lord— "All authority has been given to Me….Go therefore…" (Matthew 28:18-19). From My Utmost for His Highest Updated Edition

Infographic Elements Vector PSD EmailShare Today's fantastic freebie is an infographic elements kit in PSD vector format. The kit contains several commonly used elements to create infographic designs. The flat-style kit is a full vector PSD file with bright and colorful graphics such as bars, charts, spike chart, icons, etc., to help you present your statistical data nicely. You can easily edit and resize the components in Photoshop and make them fit for your needs. Vitesse, a snazzy slab serif font from Hoefler & Frere-Jones, can best be compared to a typographic sports car: Instead of using the rounded rectangle as a motif, the strategy we devised for Vitesse was to use a more sophisticated shape as its central theme: a modified rectangle with flat surfaces above and below, gently curved sides, and quick turns at the corners. The complexity of these ingredients allows Vitesse to escape the grid when necessary, helping to preserve both the natural poise of intricate letters, and the typeface's personality throughout its complete range of styles. The design that emerged has many of the qualities of a beloved sports car: Vitesse is agile, steady, suave, confident, and stylish. Different from the likes of 19th and 20th century slab serifs, Vitesse employs the rounded rectangle form described above instead of an ellipse- or circular-shaped model. You may recognize the ellipse form in H&FG's Sentinel, while Archer boasts a circular form.

20+ Tools to Create Your Own Infographics A picture is worth a thousand words – based on this, infographics would carry hundreds of thousands of words, yet if you let a reader choose between a full-length 1000-word article and an infographic that needs a few scroll-downs, they'd probably prefer absorbing information straight from the infographic. What's not to like? Colored charts and illustrations deliver connections better than tables and figures and as users spend time looking back and forth the full infographic, they stay on the site longer. Plus, readers who like what they see are more likely to share visual guides more than articles. While not everyone can make infographics from scratch, there are tools available on the Web that will help you create your very own infographics.

On Friday the exhibition "Stuff for Thought" will open in Nuremberg.
In the call for entries it had said that the city of Nuremberg, because of its history, feels a high responsibility towards the observation of human rights. Last September Mr Amirul Haque Amin from Bangladesh was awarded the Nuremberg International Prize for Human Rights. He is the President of the National Textile Union in his country and has been actively campaigning for improvements of working conditions in textile industry for many years. He will be attending the Nuremberg Peace Meal, and to celebrate this occasion the city of Nurember is calling for a Textile Exhibition in which works will be presented that deal with the topic of human rights.
I had entered several quilts in answer to this call, and it was "Thinking of Nasrin" that was selected. This quilt was made for one of our challenges for International Threads and uses not only three hand-embroidered squares from the Guldusi initiatve, but I also included a piece of fabric that women in Afghanistan use to make their garments, hiding their faces and bodies.
The opening reception will take place on Friday, September 9th, 2016, at 7 p.m. at the Rathaus in Nuremberg (address: Wolffscher Bau, Rathausplatz 2). Should you be in the area, please come and join us for the reception. The exhibition will be on display until September 25th, 2016.
Congratulations, I'm glad you put my unused square to such good use.
Oh well done! I am glad this quilt will be on display for the prestigious event.

These words from Matthew's account of the Sermon on the Mount (6:19-21) reflect Jesus' views on wealth and acquiring possessions. It's surprising to remember that he spoke these words to a mostly peasant-class audience, where wealth and status was only dreamed of. And yet he reminded them not to chase after the things in life that will ultimately go away.
There's a humble attitude and outlook about Jesus that recalls our need to rely on God. Not just recalling that need, but modeling it for us as followers of Jesus.
What better way to be humble than to serve others? Giving of ourselves through service, charity and money is an act of humility because we place part of ourselves out there for the benefit of others. That's what the Giving Tuesday campaign is all about. When we make efforts to build up the lives of neighbors and strangers alike, we also live into the way of Jesus, recasting his image in our own lives.
I am excited about the opportunity that Giving Tuesday provides for non-profits. It enables us to reach out to a generous community on behalf of those on the margins, to advocate and work in support of better lives for all. I invite you to join in the generosity of Giving Tuesday through volunteerism or donation. To help Hillside reach people with Good News, click here.


Absorbing, rather bitter debut thriller about NASA and a team of US astronauts going up in 1999 to join Russia's Mir space station team. The missing man of the title is Chief Astronaut Joe Buerhle, who's killed before the mission begins. Accompanying Buerhle in the T-38 trainer plane that he was flying when he died was astronaut Mark Koskinen, who was ejected when the usually calm Buerhle started hot-dogging over the ocean, lost an engine, was blinded by clouds, and came out—perhaps stupidly?—trying to save the plane before it splashed down and sank. Unanswered questions about the crash haunt Mark and spread gradually to his fellow astronauts and the top staff at Houston. Meanwhile, Buerhle's ex-girlfriend, astronaut Kelly Gessner, discovers Joe's notes on his computer—notes that point up either his paranoia or the fact that someone is trying to kill him. Then Mark's old girlfriend, Allyson, shows up to encourage and cook for him during his recovery from the crash, although he is still on schedule for the Mir mission. Later, Allyson is killed in a highway accident. The coroners— reports on both her and Buerhle show cocaine in their blood, and the evidence slowly accumulates to suggest that both of these people were murdered when coke was injected into their food. As time passes, Mark and Kelly gather what further evidence they can, while their chief on the mission plays down their fears. Eventually, both realize that nothing they find will matter to NASA, which won—t let anything interfere with the space docking and experiments on its own agenda. The climax is a one-gun shoot-'em-up in outer space, completely unlike anything you might expect. Cassutt's poker-faced plain style never busts the language envelope, but if it works for Tom Clancy, why not punch it out? Even so, it's not what we might hope for from a writer for TV's The Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone revival, and the brainspinningly experimental Max Headroom.

This paper presents an axiomatic framework for influence diagram computation, which allows reasoning with partially ordered values of utility. We show how an algorithm based on sequential variable elimination can be used to compute the set of maximal values of expected utility (up to an equivalence relation). Formalisms subsumed by the framework include decision making under uncertainty based on multi-objective utility, or on interval-valued utilities, as well as a more qualitative decision theory based on order-of-magnitude probabilities and utilities.

Riyadh recalls ambassador from Qatar over Al-Jazeera row
Published September 30th, 2002 - 02:00 GMT
Riyadh has decided to recall its ambassador to Qatar for consultation, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. Acrimony between the neighboring Gulf states had arisen over broadcasts in the Doha-based Al-Jazeera satellite television station, perceived by Riyadh as critical of the Saudi royal family.
Both controversial and highly popular, the Arabic Al-Jazeera news channel was set up in 1996. Although privately held, the station in not fully independent from the Qatari government. With over 35 million viewers throughout the world, it is also the most popular satellite TV channel in Saudi Arabia.
In July this year, Saudi opposition cleric Mohsen Al-Awaji found a platform for his criticism of Crown Prince Abdullah's peace initiative on an Al-Jazeera debate. During the live broadcast of the Al-Ittijah Al-Muakes (Opposite Direction) program, he charged the Saudi monarchy of betraying the Palestinian cause reported the BBC.
In retaliation, Saudi media has blasted the Al-Jazeera channel for giving Israeli officials a platform to voice their views, dubbing it "a Zionist instrument".
The same program also managed to rub Qatar's Western neighbor the wrong way just last week, after airing "offensive remarks" made by a Bahraini dissident who argued that the ongoing democratization process in the kingdom was "only cosmetic," reported Gulf News.
In late August, the Jordanian government closed Al-Jazeera's office in Amman and recalled its ambassador for consultation, saying Jazeera had portrayed the kingdom's rulers as "puppets of the United States and Israel," IPS reported.
The Gulf emirate of Qatar occupies a tiny peninsula attached to the powerful kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The two Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members have only recently concluded an agreement, which put an end to a decades' old border dispute.
While Qatar sits atop the world's third largest gas reserves, its southern neighbor is home to a quarter of the world's oil reserves and is the world's largest producer of oil. — (albawaba.com)

Momentum of Light
Publisher: Lars Muller Publishers, ISBN: 9783037786864, Author: Diébédo Francis Kéré, Format: Paperback, 180pp, 240 x 330mm
Two stars of contemporary architecture explore the unique handling of light and heat in the architecture of Burkina Faso.
Across the African continent, but especially in the sub-Saharan regions, the light has a particularly stark quality, which becomes most apparent in relation to older buildings. Before electricity, architecture was required to make use of the sun as a light source within a building, while also protecting its inhabitants from the heat. This resulted in vernacular architecture that features very few or small openings, which consequently render the inside of a building near pitch black, while the outside is illuminated by sunshine that bears down mercilessly.
On the initiative of the lighting technology company Zumtobel Group, photographer Iwan Baan (born 1975) and architect Francis Kéré (born 1965) set out to capture how the sun's natural light cycle shapes vernacular architecture in Burkina Faso with little to no artificial light sources. They traveled to three exemplary locations: communal compounds in Gando; the main mosque of Bobo Dioulasso; and the terraced houses in Dano. Baan's pictures are accompanied by architectural sketches by Francis Kéré, who himself grew up in this light environment and whose architecture is inspired by it. The stunning photographs are printed using a special technique, to give a sense of being immersed in the very light conditions documented here.

Embryos, Cryopreservation, Thawing, Goats
This work studied the surgical technique for collecting embryos in the goat, using heterozygous donors for the 5/15 translocation, which were bred with translocated animals. At the same, time technical characteristics related to cryopreservation, thawing and cultivation of the structures were performed. Considering the superovulatory treatment, oestrus was observer 24 or 48 hours after removing the intravaginal sponge and 71 viable structures were yielded in 43 collections. The 1 -2 Propanediol proved to be an efficient cryoprotectant agent, and allowed the cultivation of all the embryos. This result was not observed when glycerol was used as a cryoprotectant agent. Adhesions due to multiple collections constitute a great challenge for the improvement of this technique, since they are considered a limiting factor to the use of donors in the beginning of their reproductive lives.

Why are people going hungry in India despite a massive grain surplus?

Editor's Note: Since late November, braving the bitter cold, hundreds of thousands of farmers have set up protest camps at various points on the borders of India's capital, New Delhi. Their main demand is the withdrawal of the three farm laws rammed through parliament by the right-wing Narendra Modi government in September. Farmers fear these laws will drive down the prices they get for their produce and pave the way for greater corporatization of agriculture. Noted economist Prabhat Patnaik analyzes some of the key arguments being made in this context.
The Indian intelligentsia has an incredible propensity to swallow the self-serving arguments of metropolitan capitalism that are typically supposed to constitute 'economic wisdom,' and nowhere is this more evident than in the case of India's food economy. There are a plethora of center-page articles in newspapers these days suggesting that Indian kisans (farmers) should move away from producing food grains toward other crops, which is actually a demand that metropolitan countries have been making for quite some time. These countries have a surplus of food grains, and so they want India to import food grains from them to meet the excess of India's domestic demand over domestic production. This would take the country back to the pre-Green Revolution days, and now members of the Indian intelligentsia are echoing, in various ways, this metropolitan demand to diversify away from food grains.
One of their arguments is that the kisans from the states of Punjab and Haryana are caught in a 'cereal trap' where they keep producing cereals that are not very profitable for them and of which the country now has a surplus because they are lured by the provision of a minimum support price (MSP) that reduces their risk. Sometimes the argument is put differently: the Punjab and Haryana kisans have to move away from MSP-supported activities to other more lucrative ones, for which Modi, perhaps precipitately, is providing a way through his three agriculture laws.
This entire position, apart from echoing the demand of advanced countries, and supporting the Modi government implicitly or explicitly, also shows the same contempt for kisans as shown by the government; these intellectuals are of the view that a bunch of ignoramuses cannot see what is good for them, but Modi can. But let us ignore the motives and prejudices of these intellectuals and just examine their argument.
There is no gainsaying that there are massive food grain stocks with the Food Corporation of India (FCI) at present and that this has become a regular feature of the Indian economy of late. But to conclude from this that India grows more than enough food grains for its requirements is the height of folly. A country that in 2020 ranked 94th among 10 7 hunger-afflicted countries, according to the Global Hunger Index, cannot be said to be self-sufficient in food grains even if it has surplus stocks. This is not just an arbitrary judgment. Whenever the amount of purchasing power in the hands of the people has increased, stocks have tended to dwindle, which means that the stock buildup has been caused by a shortage of purchasing power in people's hands rather than their having as much food as they want.
The solution to the stock buildup, therefore, is to put purchasing power in the hands of the people through transfers and through an enlargement in the scope of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. Ironically, doing so would not cost the government anything. If the government borrows say Rs 100 (a little more than a dollar) from banks to make these transfers, and if this amount that comes into the hands of the working people is spent on food grains, then it would come back to the FCI. The FCI, in turn, would repay this amount to the banks from whom it had borrowed for buying food grains from the kisans. As the FCI is part of the government itself, this means that what the right hand of the government would have borrowed from banks (for transfers), the left hand of the government would be paying back (through the FCI); there would be no net increase in the indebtedness of the government as a whole. But because the FCI, though government-owned, is off-budget (it was not till the early 1970s), there would be an increase in the fiscal deficit in the budget, which, however, is utterly inconsequential.
In other words, once the crop has been bought from the kisans, handing it to people rather than holding it as stocks will have no ill effects whatsoever; on the contrary, it is immensely beneficial for multiple reasons: it allays hunger, improves people's living standards and reduces the cost of stockholding.
We assumed above that all the purchasing power coming into the hands of the people is spent on food grains, but even if a part of it is spent on other goods, it still remains entirely beneficial in a demand-constrained economy. True, the fiscal deficit will go up in this case in an authentic sense and not just spuriously as in the previous case, but this would have no ill effects whatsoever; on the contrary, it would provide a stimulus for economic recovery by increasing the degree of capacity utilization in non-food grain sectors.
But if instead of putting purchasing power into the hands of the people to lift food grain stocks, the land that is currently growing food grains is devoted to some other use, then that would amount to condemning the people forever to mass hunger. Since hunger is because of the lack of purchasing power with the people, a change in land use, from food grains to other uses, can reduce hunger only if the total employment generated directly and indirectly by such a shift is higher than before. Now, even if we assume that employment per acre is the same whether the acre is devoted to food grains or some other crop, such a shift in land use will not reduce hunger, as the purchasing power in the hands of the people will remain the same as before. So the panacea for reducing hunger is not a shift of acreage away from food grains but putting purchasing power in people's hands. And as for the argument that kisans should move toward agro-processing, that is unexceptionable, but does not constitute an argument for reducing acreage under food grains.
There is, in fact, a very common misconception here. If an acre devoted to producing food grains fetches less income than the same acre devoted to some other crop, then a shift away from food grains is supposed to be beneficial. The misconception lies in the fact that it is not the income earned per acre that matters for society but how much employment is generated directly and indirectly through such a shift (assuming all along that food grains can be imported without any problems at the going prices, which itself is a completely false assumption in a world of imperialism). If the shift of an acre from food grains to some cash crop for export doubles the income for the landowning kisan but halves the employment generated on that acre, including what gets generated through multiplier effects, i.e., the expenditure of the higher incomes, then there would be a massive increase in destitution in the countryside. This will lead to the landowning kisans losing their higher income since the corporates who buy from them for exporting would bid down their purchase price because of the much greater destitution around. It is therefore not the apparent income gain but the employment effect of a shift of acreage that must be taken into consideration. (And even that is not enough because of imperialist arm-twisting of any country that becomes food-import-dependent.)
If the solution to stock accumulation lies in putting purchasing power in people's hands, the solution to lack of profitability for kisans in food grain production lies in raising the MSP and the procurement prices for food grains. It would be argued of course that if the MSP and procurement prices are raised, then that would raise food prices for the consumers, but this is a non-sequitur. Procurement prices can be raised without raising issue prices through an increase in the food subsidy. And anyone objecting to such an increase in food subsidy on the grounds that there is a shortage of resources to meet the subsidy bill should remember that any redistribution in society, any attempt to improve income distribution, entails taxing some to subsidize others. Anyone who cries over the peasants' meager income but is unwilling to advocate the use of fiscal means for rectifying it is being utterly dishonest, merely shedding crocodile tears for the peasants while actually carrying forward, unwittingly perhaps, an imperialist agenda. And all this is quite apart from the fact that what appears at first sight as the easy way to raise peasants' income, through a shift toward more lucrative cash crops, can make them pauperized when the prices of these crops crash in the world market, as they inevitably would since they are subject to wide fluctuations (from which the MSP system protects peasants).
The peasants gathered on the Delhi border understand all these issues much more clearly than either Modi or the intelligentsia advocating a shift away from food grains. Ironically, it is the latter group who are suggesting that the peasants are ignoramuses!

Beyond Plague Urbanism
by Andy Merrifield
Over the centuries, humans have survived tragedy through the incredible stoicism of not moving, of standing one's ground, of resisting, of engaging in tremendous creativity. Perhaps we can use the time alone to think collectively, to reflect together on how we might reconstruct the public realm of our cities.

Q: What would be a consistent method to preserve FileField behaviour in Django 1.2.5 As with Django 1.2.5 a model containing a filefield will not automatically delete the associated files any more when the model is deleted. Check the release notes here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/releases/1.2.5/
I am quite new to Django, so i wonder what would be a good way to preserve the old behaviour, as i have a need for it. Is it enough to just override the model.save method?

A: if you take a look at changeset 15321 in django's code repository, you'll see that this functionality has been removed by deleting a signal handler that the FileField had which intercepted the its parent model's delete event and subsequently tried to delete its file.
The functionality is quite easy to restore, you just need to "undo" these changes. One warning though: The problem with deleting files within transactions is real and if you delete files "the old fashioned way" you could end up deleting stuff even when a rollback occurs. Now, if that doesn't pose a problem for you, read on!
We can easy subclass the FileField and restore that functionality without touching the original class. This could should do that (note that I'm just restoring the old functionality deleted from the code):
from django.db.models.fields.files import FileField

class RetroFileField(FileField):
    # restore the old delete file when model is deleted functionality

    def __init__(self, verbose_name=None, name=None, upload_to='', storage=None, **kwargs):
        # init FileField normally
        super(RetroFileField, self).__init__(verbose_name, name, upload_to, storage, **kwargs)

    def contribute_to_class(self, cls, name):
        # restore the SIGNAL that is handled when a model is deleted
        super(RetroFileField, self).contribute_to_class(cls, name)
        signals.post_delete.connect(self.delete_file, sender=cls)

    def delete_file(self, instance, sender, **kwargs):
        file = getattr(instance, self.attname)
        # If no other object of this type references the file,
        # and it's not the default value for future objects,
        # delete it from the backend.
        if file and file.name != self.default and \
            not sender._default_manager.filter(**{self.name: file.name}):
                file.delete(save=False)
        elif file:
            # Otherwise, just close the file, so it doesn't tie up resources.
            file.close()

(I haven't tested the code... but it should be more or less ok)
You should put this code in a fields.py module in your project, or wherever it makes sense to you. Just remember, that from now on, instead of using django.db.models.FileField you'll be using yourproject.fields.RetroFileField for your file fields. And if you're using image fields and you depend on this functionality too... well... I think you'll need to subclass the image fields too and make them use your RetroFileField instead of the original FileField.
Oh, and if you don't like the name of the field, just rename it to something more appropriate, just remember to update the super() calls inside.
Hope this helps!
Another note: You should see if you can just use a cron job to delete orphaned files like the changelog suggests.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column confused about the utility of fabric softener.
The few people who know our true identity know that we are terribly inadequate when it comes to doing our laundry.
We've already expounded upon the tedious process in a previous Summit Up column (perhaps you've read it), but we'll reiterate that we hate it beyond practically every chore assigned to us by default because we are unfortunately adult.
We hate it mostly because we no longer have a washing machine and dryer in our apartment … for reasons that are our fault. But, we digress.
Back to fabric softener. On Monday, we realized that, for the past month, we've been washing our clothes with fabric softener only.
"What does this mean?" we asked ourselves as we stared at the bottle, our brow knitted in confusion.
So, now we find ourselves in work on our day off as our clothes swish swash at the laundromat down the street, researching the difference between laundry detergent and fabric softener.
A fellow Summit Daily reporter told us that detergent cleans, while fabric softener softens.
So, basically we've been washing our clothes in perfumed moisturizer. Well, that's cool.
And we Googled it. Apparently fabric softener (also called fabric conditioner) is used to prevent static cling and make fabric softer. It is available as a liquid or as dryer sheets.
Laundry detergent is the cleaning agent that is added when washing laundry to get everything cleaner.
In our defense, our clothes have been coming out smelling fresh and looking clean! We didn't even know the difference. We're guessing the water part of the process had something to do with it.
And we're feeling quite silly. But, it's really not our fault, you see. The words on the bottle were ever so small.
This may actually point to another inadequacy on our part: Bad eyesight.
It's quite possible we may need to get our eyes checked, sooner than later.
Hi there, I know you get slammed with a million angel, scum, silly, etc.- alerts, so to have mine be heard and printed is just tremendous. I can't tell you how important and meaningful it is to me that I can write my local paper and ask them to thank someone or scorn someone (haha), and you listen and care and get the message out.
You guys rock! Thanks again, and I hope YOU get some good karma from all the good deeds you do. Have an excellent day and week and weekend.
Thanks, Amanda! You just made our day.
We're out on this lovely Saturday, skiing our biscuits off at Breckenridge Ski Resort.
